Emulated Models Supported by Charon-PAR/PA9

The following table provides a short overview of the historic PA-RISC models for HP-UX emulated by the Charon-PAR software. For more details regarding each model, please refer to Emulated Model Hardware Configuration Details in the Charon-PAR user's guide. For configuration details and restrictions, please refer to the section Configuration File Reference in the Charon-PAR user's guide.

Please note: some emulated devices (e.g., tape drives, serial, and parallel ports) can be linked to physical devices on the Charon host system. As the physical devices on a cloud-based Charon host system typically do not exist, such configurations are not available in cloud environments.

(1) N4000, A400, and A500 models are historic PA-RISC models for MPE/iX. While they can run HP-UX, this is not recommended due to different Ethernet controller requirements between MPE and HP-UX.

(2) Oversized versions of the models may be available (up to 128 CPUs and 512GB of RAM). Please check availability with your Sales contact.

(3) Starting with version 3.0.5, oversized versions of the rp7400 may be available (up to 64 CPUs and 512GB of RAM). Please check availability with your Sales contact. The N4000 models can have 1-4, 6, or 8 emulated CPUs.

(4) Supported starting with Charon-PAR version 3.0.7. Oversized versions with up to 16 CPUs and up to 3840MB RAM (starting with version 3.0.14) may be available. HP-UX limitations: 10.20 supports 16 CPUs; 11.00 and 11.11 support 15 CPUs. 10.20, 11.00 and 11.11 support up to 3840MB RAM. Please check availability with your Sales contact.

(5) 2GB supported starting with Charon-PAR version 3.0.8-22201. Earlier versions support 1.5GB.

(6) Oversized versions with up to 4 CPUs (starting with Charon-PAR 3.0.13) and up to  3840MB of RAM (starting with version 3.0.14) may be available.
HP-UX limitations: 9.x supports 1 CPU and up to 768 MB of RAM; 10.20 and 11.00 support 4 CPUs and up to 3840 MB of RAM. Please check availability with your Sales contact.

(7) Starting with version 3.0.20. Currently, a maximum of 4 PCI functions is supported (for example, one single-port SCSI controller and 3 Tulip Ethernet devices). Please note: version 3.0.19 introduced 2 PCI expansion slots for additional Ethernet devices. However, version 3.0.20 implemented important improvements overriding the previous implementation.

Emulated Models Supported by Charon-PAR/PA3

The following table provides a short overview of the historic PA-RISC models for MPE/iX emulated by the Charon-PAR Software. For more details regarding each model, please refer to Emulated Model Hardware Configuration Details in the Charon-PAR user's guide.
